the same warning repeating
conformed to the world
not transformed by the
presence,
the indwelling of the living
God
living in the world
stained too much by it
a warning about allegiances
about our unholy works
we need a singular focus
on God, on the way
that God has written for us;
we must cleave to God every
day

The Widow’s Mite
Luke 21:1-4 (KJV)
21 And Christ looked up, and saw the rich men casting
their gifts
into the Temple treasury. 2 And he saw also a certain
poor widow
casting in there two small coins.3 And he said, “In truth
I say unto you,
that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4
For all these have
of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but
she of her
extreme poverty hath cast in all the living that she had.”
